Programmable Real-time Unit Subsystem Overview
- Two independent programmable real-time cores with 32 bit Load/Store Architecture
- 4K Byte instruction Ram per core / 512 Byte data Ram per core
- Good for handling real-time system events with tight real-time constraints
- Efficient for manipulating packed memory mapped data structures
- Supports access to all system peripherals
- Reduces system power consumption by allowing switching off both ARM and DSP clocks and evaluation of events before waking up ARM and/or DSP
- Includes many programming examples which can be used as building blocks
for your custom application. Each demo application has associated source code for
both the PRU and ARM9
